Lindsey Vonn Makes Golf News

Since skier Lindsey Vonn is Tiger's girlfriend -- and in view that Tiger changed into expected to pass several weeks of golf for the duration of the Sochi Olympics next month -- Lindsey's wonder declaration the day past opened all varieties of opportunities.

In case you missed the information, here is a short summary from this ESPN article:

Vonn tore two ligaments in her proper knee at some point of a high-speed crash at the arena championships this beyond February, sidelining her for approximately 10 months. She retore her surgically repaired ACL in a schooling crash in November, a key setback. Then, after returning to competition in early December with the aid of completing fortieth, 11th and 5th in a hard and fast of World Cup races at Lake Louise, Alberta, Vonn sprained her MCL all through a race ultimate month at Val d'Isere, France.

Then, later in that same article:

After skiing in two downhills and a first-rate-G at Lake Louise, Vonn sounded positive, affirming she might be in Sochi, "combating for my medal."

But multiple weeks later in France, during a downhill -- with Woods watching inside the end region -- Vonn misplaced her balance, sending her left ski into the air and forcing all her weight onto her proper knee. She grimaced as she pulled up, then clutched her proper knee.

[ Her publicist, Lewis] Kay said Tuesday that an MRI after that episode "showed an MCL sprain, which coupled with the torn ACL has made it impossible to stabilize her knee and be ready to safely ski again next month."

So that's it. Lindsey will have surgery again soon and aim for a return at the 2015 World Championships in Colorado. (The article contains considerably more info and is well worth a read.)

And here's in which Lindsey makes golfing information. While it's clean that Tiger may be spending time with Lindsey and looking to help her get better, this has probably modified his agenda. He had made no mystery that he meant to be at the Sochi Olympics to support Lindsey; considering she won't be there, it opens up 3 ability look dates for him, according to this Golfweek article:

• Feb 6-9: The AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am
• Feb 13-16: The Northern Trust Open
• Feb 19-23: The WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship

Will he actually add one or more of them to his schedule? Well, if the past is any indication, he typically plays the Accenture and he played the AT&T once in 2012. And I'd guess Lindsey would be a month or so past her surgery by then, so she may even push him to go play and get out of the house!

At the very least, we'll be seeing Lindsey at more golf tournaments as her recovery progresses. And one thing's for certain -- Tiger seems to play very well when Lindsey's around.

That could bode well for him in the majors this year. Very well indeed.
